Okay KaRay I'm ready for you. My recommendations:

Here's a relatively new one that opened over a week ago, Apr 15th to be exact. Isn't it time you premiered it?

Or this one which could be legitimate because I can't picture you spending the time to compose the diatribe included on their 'Me' page. Get that seller listing!!!! Sounds like they need the pity sales. But how desperate can they be if they are paying for a store with no auctions????

Or these if you prefer vintage,

Geez, I gave you 5. Normally I only include 3. Don't worry, I won't ask for compensation over and above my previous proposal.

Hey KaRay;

Sherrand my ghoststore buster friend, why not send Ray your bill for services rendered, give him 10 days to pay you, and if he doesn't, email him that you are going to turn him into collections for his delinquent account. Then post it on the WP forum so everyone will know who the real deadbeat is.

For anyone still not convinced that your auctions live longer than you do as a store owner on WP, here's a random sample.

This seller left 3 months ago!! Yet this auction is still alive and open for bids. Note the listing number. It points to how old the listing is:

http://www.wagglepop.com/stores/The-Trea...?disp=view&listingID=199843&data=

That is why we here on TT keep drilling into your head; if you plan to leave WP, cancel/close all your active auctions before you shut the door. This is just one example of how the WP open listing count is 'padded'.

A member since Sept, did they have a founding member icon?
They also show 100 of this item available.

Yeah, Id say the listing is old...In the description it says "Christmas is around the corner".  What is really sad is the fact that the counter is only at 11!

Brilliant! I really should give it a shot. And if he pays on time I can point out some of the 'Me' pages he is carrying on his bandwidth. For only 5 cents more per page!

Here's a random sample KaRay;

Hey you  , you need my research. But if you ain't prepared to pay for it - eat ronis!!!

And sample a few more of these while you're at it:

What is really sad is the fact that the counter is only at 11!

And I'm responsible for three of those hits!!

Hey Sherrand,
While River is creating the "Web Site in a Box", why not put your talents to work on creating "Ghosts Store in a Box?" -- complete with clapper, so boinktard auction owners can fake business they don't have as easily as mixing a glass of Koolaid.

Of course, "Ghost Store in a Box" comes complete with bogus listings, home page hard luck story   , and preprogrammed "rah-rah" posts   all set to fire when prompted by the words "dynamic" and "revolutionary." There is the optional fake "buddy" page feature, and just to make it look legit, why not stick in a bogus feedback or two for good measure.

Hey Ray, if you're lurking, think how much you could save in "labor costs" by buying a dozen or so "Ghost Stores in a Box". Costs you can divert elsewhere, like in non-existent ad campaigns and imaginary tech staff --

SEE RAY, WE'RE NOT TROLLS AND INFILTRATORS. We're good people, looking out for you.
